Month: May 2014

Today we have guest post about a guest poster to this blog! YouTube celebrity The Geocaching Doc was interviewed by Mark, AKA Benign Source, AKA Banana Source of The OhBeep! Geocaching Podcast, as heard on episode 27 of that podcast, which was released on April 27th, 2014. The interview is approximately 39 minutes long, and you can listen right here in the embedded audio player below. Be sure to listen to The OhBeep! Geocaching Podcast, a new episode of which is generally released on Sunday Evenings U.K. time, and of course you can check out the latest from The GCDoc every week right here on this blog.

OCNA Note: We missed one show, due to our transition from Blogger to WordPress. This is the first show we’re posting with the newly solo HikerJamz. If you are interested in being a co-host, please contact him (several links below). This week, a few local to him cachers call in live from the field while caching.

Hey, this WordPress thing works! Hello world! is the default first post to any WordPress blog, so let’s roll with it. Please bear with us, as we migrate our blog from the Blogger platform (boo!) to the WordPress platform (yea!). You can still reach our original 14 month old blog at http://opencachingna.blogspot.com. Since this page is obviously live, if you check back here in the next few days to a week, you will see this blog in various stages of template and widget tweaking, and old blog importation.

Notes: Due to a major problem in Studio 1 during the live show on Saturday, May 10th, this is an edited show posted Sunday May 11th. It is considered episode 60.5 of the show, and is about 35 minutes long.

After this post, there will be no posts to this blog for a period expected to be “a couple weeks”. In our one year anniversary post, we threatened to move from the Blogger.com blogging platform to WordPress, and we’re going to pull the trigger on that. At some point during that period, this blog will only be reachable at http://opencachingna.blogspot.com and http://blog.opencaching.us won’t work. We will announce that change at all our social media outlets. However, the wordpress blog will return at blog.opencaching.us.

Our old friend HikerJamz alerted us last week to a relatively new face on the Geocaching scene who might be interested in being interviewed for this blog; Amber, who goes by the handle The Ginger Geocacher. We quickly contacted her, and yes, she was happy to agree to an interview with us. She joined Geocaching.com in early January, where her username is thegingergeoacher (all one word). She is also on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and of course has her own YouTube channel. Above, you see embedded what is, at the time of this post, her latest video, “It happens to the best of us Geocaching”, when she went out Geocaching on the Birthday of the hobby (May 3rd). We are also embedding another one of her videos at the bottom of the post. On with the interview!(more…)
